"Everyone has a goal or a dream that they want to make a reality. Most people want to be famous, most people just want power, and some people even want to be the Wizard King. As for me.......i guess all i want......is a place to call home."
A boy in...
As Kyoya dashed through the waterfall, he met up with Asta along with Nero. When they caught up with the boy, they saw Asta getting hit by water as Undine entered the area. When Kyoya looked ahead, he saw Undine standing in front of woman wearing glasses.
"This....is the queen of Heart Kingdom?"

"Loropechika, I told you to change out of your pajamas. We have guests here!"
While Undine was scolding Loropechika, Kyoya was wondering about one thing. Just what in the absolute hell was he witnessing. Soon he took a deep breath as he wants this investigation to be over with.
"So mind telling me why you forced us into a fight."
"I'm sorry for that. We forced you to fight in order to gauge what stage you all our in. Mages fight not with force of numbers, but with how powerful their magic is. There are cases where dozens attack and are no match for one mage. That's why, in wars between magical nations, power is measured in stages. In other words, a kingdom's power is determined by how many mages it has that is close to stage zero. And if you're dealing with a devil, no one lower than stage one will be able to keep up."
After hearing this, Kyoya and Nero nod their heads. Meanwhile, steam could be seen escaping from Asta's head. Seeing this, Kyoya punched the boy's head and Asta remembered why they were here.
"A devil.....that's right. We came here because we detected a huge curse signal that could be the work of a devil. Do you know anything about a devil's curses?"
"Oh yes. I'm cursed by a devil. If nothing is done about it, i'll die in a year."
"..................what?"
Kyoya said what Asta, Nero, and even Undine were thinking. They couldn't believe how easily that she just admitted that. However, Kyoya suddenly froze in place. The question he asked Echidna, Loropechika being cursed by a devil. Everything was starting to come together. With a slight hint of worry in his voice, he asked Loropechika and Undine one thing.
"....the name. Do you know the name of the devil who cursed you?"
"The devil who placed on curse on her is named Megicula. We fought you and determined your stages so we can defeat Megicu-"
Before Undine could finish that sentence, Nero, Loropechika, and herself felt an immense amount of killing intent. Not only that, Asta sensed some malicious ki as well. When everyone turned towards the direction where they felt this presence, they were staring at Kyoya. However, Asta noticed that Kyoya's eyes weren't their normal black color. They were glowing red as his grimoire was faintly glowing a black color.
